    Description

    Hi! We are Cristiano and Marie, we live in Delfim Moreira in Minas Gerais.

    We are working with hotels in the beautiful Serra da Mantiqueira.
    We have 3 different places where we rent rooms to our clients, volunteers are staying just in one of them :

    *The hotel in the city center of Delfim Moreira.

    * Our house where we also rent rooms and it's the place where our volunteers are staying as well. this is located in Rosário, in the countryside of the city, 7km from the city center, surrounded by mountains.

    * The third place, it is a wooden house in the middle of the forest, 24km from the city of Delfim.


    We need help from the volunteers especially with the general maintenance of the house, keeping It clean and ready to welcome the guests.
    This parte is really importante for us.

    We have animals to tale care of (dogs, chickens and horses...), giving them food and taking good care of their needs so they stay healthy and happy.

    We have a big garden and a vegetable garden to take care of as well.

    Other than cleaning and gardning we usually need help with other tasks as well : It can be painting, construction, planting, organizing... this will depend of the projects that are going on in the house! We also are really open to your ideas, so feel free to think about projects that you could work on and would be great for our space, we will be happy to hear It :) And of course If you have a special skill that could help our business you are more the welcome!

    We expect our volunteers to work 4 to 5 hours a day with 2 days off. We are counting on you to respect that, there is always something to do in a big house!

    If you're looking for a quiet place in the middle of nature, you are going to love Oca, the landscape is beautiful!
    There are some waterfalls around and nice places to walk. At the right time of the year you could do some mountain climbing as well. This is also your chance to know a real countryside city from Minas Gerais and its lifestyle.
    Here it's calm, perfect for introspection, contact with nature and Animals, reading, play music and make campfires!

    We hope to have you on our team so we can make the place grow together!
    Come and Join us :)
